What the data says.

Examiner Tuan A Vu maintains a public record spanning two art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 1,266 disposed applications, the examiner has allowed 932 and abandoned 334, yielding an allowance rate of 74%.

The pooled record aggregates outcomes from both art units under the examiner's jurisdiction.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates the examiner's work across multiple art units and reflects historical outcomes. Allowance rates describe past decisions on applications already disposed and are not predictions of outcomes for any specific pending application. Pooled figures mask variation between individual art units; detailed breakdowns by unit appear in separate reporting. Aggregate statistics provide context for the examiner's overall record but do not forecast results in individual cases.

These are aggregate statistics from this examiner's past public record — not predictions about any specific application. The per-art-unit figures below show how the record varies across art units. Our approach to patent prosecution →

Questions about Examiner Tuan A Vu

  • What is Examiner Tuan A Vu's overall allowance rate?
    The examiner's allowance rate is 74%, calculated over 1,266 disposed applications (932 allowed and 334 abandoned). This rate describes the examiner's historical record and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome.
  • How many art units does this examiner cover?
    The examiner's record spans 2 art units (2124 and 2193) within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security).
  • Does the 74% rate apply to my specific application?
    No. The allowance rate is an aggregate of past decisions across multiple art units and does not predict outcomes in any individual case. Allowance rates describe completed dispositions and are historical, not prospective.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026. The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 1,310 applications.
